Random Pet Photo of the Day - 2026

Feeding the horses Friday morning as the sun comes up. As it comes over all the trees and the house behind me, it's shines on the tops of the trees in the back. Creating a beautiful display of color.

Love the scenery and the pups energy @Nordika !

I sometimes wonder "if the best way to bring a young strong male dobe along" socially is to learn from an older female in the household already.

Any thoughts on that?
To avoid going too far OT on this Random Pet Picture topic...

I'll start a separate thread:

Thread 'Best way for a strong young male pup to learn to get along in a family environment...'

Sunday at 1:11 PM

...is to be brought in under a pre-existing female of strong enough physicality and good temperament to essentially, aid in the socialization and maturity started by Mamma Dobe up until the Hooman takes over at 8-10 weeks.

---and what about best time to bring the dobe pup home? 10, maybe 12 weeks if the ethical preservation breeder has begun the crop with a known skilled dobe crop vet?

Just starting a conversation here to avoid going OT elsewhere...

What do YOU all think?

Feel free to reply of course at either, but now thinking of adding another in a year or so...-s I think I have "one more big dog in me"
and if "its a big advantage to learn from a well socialized and trained female dobe already in household."

Hubby and I working out in my barn when I look out and see this. Cute picture but somehow it makes me feel sad .

Taking a walk on this beautiful day with Annie. Almost 70° at the moment and it's not even 11:00 a.m. thought we'd stop in the leaves to take a picture.
